Marvel's Speedster

"I refuse." Magneto repeated.

"Sorry, Ross, I promised you a shot, but attacking Asgard is not our agreement. This is a big trouble, it is not part of our agreement, and I am afraid I will refuse. You should know that my enemy is human , they are discussing how to deal with my country in the convention and exhibition center below, and now Latvinia is in desperate need of every ounce of power, but you want me to accompany you on an expedition against unrelated aliens, if I promise you, Then I'm really crazy." Magneto said solemnly, stood up and was about to lead people away.

"Is it possible to restore stability to your country by killing the time with a hopeless state visit? With all due respect, then you and your country are not far from the day of collapse." Ross sat on the chair in a leisurely manner, saying to Rubbing Magneto's back, he said.

"It's better than wasting precious resources on pointless consumption." Magneto stopped walking and turned sideways with a gloomy face.

Now he knows his situation well. Although the establishment of the Mutant country has won a piece of land of its own for the compatriots, and they will no longer be driven and persecuted, but it also hinders his footsteps in the invisible. Brotherhood's strength lies in its secrecy, and its various methods are unpredictable. Even superpowers are unwilling to easily provoke an asymmetric war on their own land.

This kind of advantage once allowed Mutant World to maintain a balance of power with the major powers for a long period of time. Everyone was jealous of each other and maintained a general peace for the time being. However, since the small distant Eastern European country was conquered by his army, the previous advantages have not It no longer exists, the fragile balance can no longer be maintained, and the whereabouts of Magneto and Brotherhood are no longer secretive and unpredictable, because they have created a weakness that cannot be discarded, that is, the Kingdom of Latvinia with an increasing number of Mutants.

417 With the wisdom of Magneto, he knows how the nations of mankind will choose.

At present, those politicians are still discussing how to deal with the crisis, but they will soon come up with an unprecedentedly severe sanctions plan. They can completely follow the trend of Mutant entering Latvinia and dump the domestic burden on Magneto. At the same time, troops were sent to surround the entire Latvinia. They were only allowed to enter, but not to come out, let alone transport supplies. Don’t even try to transport a barrel of oil or a bag of ears of grain safely. The whole country and itself will be trapped to death together. Among the vast mountains. At that time, unless one chooses to break out by force and fight an all-out war at the risk of genocide, there is no hope of a solution at all.

But the consequences of doing that are beyond his reach. Brotherhood's power can easily defeat the local warlord, but in the face of a powerful army armed to the teeth, most super abilities are useless. Only he can take action himself, but that will bring more risks.

In the past, Magneto could sneak attack on Liberty Island for the Mutant Registration Act, trying to turn the whole of New York into a paradise for Mutants. He was so powerful at that time. If it wasn’t for X-Men’s obstruction, he had almost completed his conception, and now there is no resistance , The same group of politicians appeared majestically at the New York Convention and Exhibition Center, but he lost the courage to challenge the world again, because that would mean completely tearing up the last peace.

The elites of human countries also know this well, so they openly held this meeting, not only to convey confidence to the whole world, but also to demonstrate South Magneto and Brotherhood.

Should we wait for a noose to be put around our throats, or be forced to bow our heads to our enemies?

Every time he thinks of this, even the imposing Magneto will be (bech) bouts of stuffiness in his chest.

"You haven't seen the essence of the matter, my lord." Ross' voice sounded slowly behind him.

"Throughout the history of the world, absolute authority has never existed. The cornerstone of a country may be inseparable from economy and culture, but the core key is always the force that directly determines survival. The order of any country depends on force. If those who hold power do not try to have power, then those who have power will spontaneously reject those strong men who pose a threat to themselves."

"Thucydides, an ancient Greek, summed up the truth in the history of the Peloponnesian War that Sparta, the dominant regional power, felt threatened by the rise of the competing power Athens. The threat Sparta felt was So big, they made every effort to try to keep the rising Athens under control, and eventually this control led to an all-out war. Modern people call this the Thucydides Trap, which means when a dominant power because of When panicked to stifle its rivals, these actions will eventually lead to war between the two. Now we are Athens, and the politicians below represent Sparta, and if we do not take the right countermeasures, war will inevitably be avoided."

"Could bringing in the Asgards prevent war?" Magneto turned slowly, staring closely at the young man behind him.

"At least it will help us wake up those pretending to be asleep and show them how big the real world is." Ross smiled slightly, and pointed to the people in the hall to show Magneto.

Magneto looked along his fingers, and familiar or unfamiliar people appeared in his vision.

Phoenix Qin, Ororo the Storm, Marco Juggernaut, Deadpool Wade, Master of Imitation, Iceman, Colossus... Nearly a hundred strong people of different ages and skin colors gathered together, and everyone is paying attention Results of his conversation with Ross.

"Today, a group of the strongest people on the entire earth have gathered here, and there are our allies in the palace of Asgard. We can definitely concentrate our greatest strength and rush into the legendary god's domain in one fell swoop. Odin's treasure Curry has many treasures, and we can Share it together, then everyone will benefit. In addition, you will become a hero of mankind's resistance against alien invaders, and your country will also benefit from it."

Ross's temptation made Magneto start to feel a little moved, but he still shook his head slowly after thinking about it.

"The risk is too great. What we are facing is an alien country with an unknown history. I understand what you said, but they alone are not enough."

"Then you can leave now." Ross was confident, he stopped trying to persuade the other party. "To be honest, the military has already considered using Hercules Potion to form a super army with a number of up to 2,000 people. Now we are negotiating on some technical issues. I can tell Your Majesty that the final quotation of the order will be an astronomical one." Numbers, do you think they have invested so much, and they will honestly stay in the military barracks in the United States in the future and not go outside to relax? If you really don’t want to, don’t blame me for staying out of it in the future.”

He stared | nakedly intimidated.

Hearing Ross' threat, Magneto's face immediately became very exciting.

"Damn it, what good does it do you to help humans increase their strength?" He clenched his fists and cried out angrily. "If you want money, the entire treasury of Latvinia is yours."

"I want your empty treasury for what use." Ross smiled mysteriously. "It's certainly good for me.

Ross's success is an out-and-out miracle in the eyes of many people, but he knows in his heart that it is the result of the intersection of two worlds of intelligence, plus a little foresight, which makes him get the original The capital, and then entered a higher level through the research on Mutant.

But not all investments are rewarded, and all research can be quickly transformed into results. When the previous dividends are cashed out, the halo of the genius head will gradually fade, and the crazy high-speed development stage will gradually stagnate, and at that time Problems that were previously overlooked will arise one after another.

The big chaebols, rivals, the White House, S.H.I.E.L.D, the World Security Council, and the HYDRA that seems to be hit... When these forces, overt or covert, focus on the laboratory and Ross, then Ross is bound to fall into the quagmire of being exhausted. Although he had no doubts that he would be victorious, there was no need to waste time on trivial matters.

His strength progress has reached a bottleneck, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough in the short term, and the risks around the laboratory are increasing day by day, just like Magneto's Kingdom of Latvinia, so now is the time to break the dangerous situation and take the initiative to step into a wider space when.

Or to put it more bluntly, Ross has already occupied so many favorable conditions. If Asgard, who is so close to the earth, dare not try it out, how will he face Thanos, who owns most of the galaxy in the future?

"If the action fails, have you thought about the consequences?" Magneto reminded cautiously.

"If that happens, since we represent all of humanity, let the whole world share the burden for us. What is there to worry about when you have all of humanity behind you, and what we are facing is not Not all of Asgard, just Odin alone - or maybe I should show you one more thing, it'll definitely add to Oh's convincing."

Ross beckoned, and Todd carefully brought up a suitcase.

When the box was opened, warm light was released outward, and the light in the entire hall was overshadowed by the light inside the box.

One hundred miniature artificial suns are arranged in several layers in the box. This is the proud work of Doctor Octopus. It can provide infinite electricity, and can also form miniature black holes to swallow matter. Magneto has heard of the power of these things, and now they It is staying obediently in the smooth and shiny glass shell and turning slowly.

Seeing these dangerous little things, Magneto gasped suddenly.

"It's a last resort, and it won't be used unless it's just in case, but if the situation gets out of control, we'll blow up most of Asgard. Are you confident now?" Ross asked, staring into his eyes.

He said lightly, and Magneto on the opposite side suddenly felt great pressure.

.......Okay, this time I will listen to you. "With nowhere to go, Magneto finally made up his mind.

"Wise choice." Ross smiled, closing the suitcase and handing it back to Todd.

At the moment, one side of the window was sunny and the other side was cloudy, and a huge storm was brewing above the Javits Convention Center. .
